Baked Katori chaat

Traditionally Katori are made with All Purpose flour and deep fried. Here I tried to use whole wheat flour and baked them.

Katori chaat can be made with different fillings like fruits or sprouts or salads or any other choice of yours. Here I filled them with Chickpeas, Mix of Veggies, Fresh Raw Mango and Potatoes. To spicy it up have used homemade Green Chutney, Sweet and Tamarind Chutney.

I REALLY like your food, Chitra ! – I like the combination of simple and yummy. But there are various things I don’t have in my tiny kitchen, and I shall have to think about whether or not to get them … It’s very difficult living on your own to have all the infrastructure you need to meet the requirements of all these wonderful on-line recipes …

To start with we’re talking … erhmm … ‘hardware’: I have neither rolling-pin nor muffin tray. This is what I mean about the infrastructure: if I buy these, I will never give them enough use to justify the cost or the trouble of finding somewhere to store them ! :-\
I know I sound like a whinger, and I’m sorry.

Hello Chitra! What a great blog you have. I love this one. The filling sounds so delicious, the soy beans, the chickpeas. The best part for me is the tamarind dates honey spread with yogurt. Also like the fact that its healthy!
